Is it the right med?

Often time any bad headache is diagnosed as a migraine. There are many other types of headaches that can be just as bad (tension, cluster, rebound, etc) that do not respond to those treatments. Confirm that your diagnosis is correct first!

In brief:
Maybe

But a more accurate explanation is that you may be treating the wrong condition with the wrong med.

Since many people have mixed headache patterns, and since most bad headaches come out of the neck, these pain patterns will not respond to triptans. Many people have secondary migraines where the triptan will help, but if more of your pain is from other comditions, then you will need different tx.
